Weight loss program info session is Aug. 29

A question and answer session about the fall “Well on Your Weigh” program is 12:10 to 12:50 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Campus Rec Center.

“Well on Your Weigh” is a three-step weight loss program that will help begin and maintain weight loss efforts. The complete program is divided into three four-week sessions and participants can start at the step they feel best accommodates their level.

All sessions include 12 group workouts, three individual nutrition consultations and weekly group education sessions. All participants receive on-going support by a team of certified professionals including health coaches, an exercise specialist and a registered dietitian.

Registration is open for three sessions:

  • “Get Started!,” Sept. 2-26, is ideal for anyone interested in the basic tools to manage and lose weight. Workouts will focus on functional and core training; including one workout per week in the privacy of Mable Lee Pool. Nutrition will focus on getting the home and work set up for success. The session will include a trip to the grocery store and all participants will receive an Omron pedometer and online tracking site. Coaching will focus on establishing a baseline of healthy habits that fit into an individual’s lifestyle.

  • “Step it Up!,” Sept. 30 through Oct. 24, is the next step in setting up for successful weight loss and maintenance by learning to eat and cook many different ways. Participants will learn how to modify favorite recipes or pair different foods with favorite recipes. Participants will also learn key words to look for when making choices at restaurants. Fitness workouts will introduce new, different, more complex ways to train. At home fitness plans that support being active the other four days will be provided.

  • “Take Charge!,” Oct. 28 through Nov. 21, helps participants to stay on track with their healthy eating, activity and healthy living goals in a supportive atmosphere.

The question and answer session is open to UNL faculty, staff and students. Register at http://go.unl.edu/ex9o.
